Service was great, made sure we were satisfied all the time. The ambiance was very cute. I went during lunch time so not many people and I was really able to enjoy my pho. The pho was amazing, one of the best I ever had. I got the spicy chicken and I can't see myself ever getting anything different. I also got the shrimp spring roll which was also amazing!
I had combination pho large, $18 Awesome service. It wasn't busy , got seated right away, as soon as I walk in , someone took me to tablemn so they were very helpful and bring me everything I asked for. But not a big fan of the broth base. Sweeter side, and smell cinnamon, not a lot of meat ..... So kind of feel not good for value or not enough. Seating is comfortable, great for hangout and enjoy meals.
Food was good. The murals on the wall are beautiful. There's plenty of options in the area so Nothing too special.
I've had better Vietnamese food but my sister lives this place so we eat here often! The service is excellent, everyone is extremely nice and they are very patient and knowledgeable of their menu and culture. The pho is a little bland, to me but they have these new veggie egg rolls that are superb! I will definitely be back, I don't have a choice because it is my sister's favorite restaurant.
Great tasting food, the pho dat bich is amazing but its a little pricey. Regardless it was a great meal
Ordered claypot fish (ca kho) and pho. The pho beef is good. Pho chicken tastes like it has too much going on. Like chemically. Doesn't taste natural. The ca kho was on the saltier side. It could've used a bit of sugar or a sweetness to cut the salty a bit. Our server was nice and efficient. And the ambiance is nice too. It has the authentic feel from the decor but the music is your mix of mainstream and throwback music.
Food- very impressed with the bon Bo hue! I liked how they didn't include the big bone in there and instead used slice of beef. Very flavorful. Service - great service Ambiance - great ambiance!
It seems the restaurant went through new renovation, internal decor looks different. The new menu shows price hike as well. I still choose my favorite Pho Noodles: Pho Beef Combination, add $2 for large size. We also ordered Claypot Fish and Pho Beef. The huge bowl contains plenty of beef soup, it tasted good with raw bean sprouts and basil leaves, rice noodles were pretty normal, beef as well, I didn't like the sausage part. The claypot was too small size for the rice; spring rolls were fresh and healthy.
I've really enjoyed each meal we've had here. The service has always been polite and attentive...even if short staffed. Their Pho broth is rich in flavor, smooth with the perfect amount of rendered fat floating around the surface. They give a fair amount of meat, I've had more...but I've also had a lot less. Betel leaves are bouncy, crispy and loaded with lemongrass...love them! Now that they have re-opened we need to buy them back into our rotation. It's a perfect substitute for nights that we don't want to drive to BuHi or Duluth for dinner.
After being closed for a while for remodeling, I finally came back here to get my favorite salad. Unfortunately, the chicken salad is no longer on the menu. Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed it was was remodeled with decor that is more modern and more nondescript (boring). We were greeted and taken to a table. The menu is mostly the same, but slightly different, removing the best items in my opinion. Not sure if the remodel was due to new ownership or management, but removing the best items was surprising. The service was slow and not attentive at all. The 5 servers gathered around the new bar and talked to each other about crypto currency and completely ignored us. At one point, having sat with empty water glasses for greater than 15 minutes, we walked up to the bar and poured the refills ourselves. The servers...still unhelpful. The food was mediocre and service not good. I'm definitely not in a hurry to ever come back. What a shame.
Pricier than other local spots, but great quality and flavor. You get what you pay for so it's worth it. Things you should know: I. LOCATION Within a plaza with free private parking out front. II. SERVICE Friendly III. QUALITY Excellent. The portions are also large..! IV. CAPACITY Fair amount of available seating in the evening
The decor inside is honestly very pretty. I love the lighting and the mural artwork along the walls. I only took one picture of the artwork so you can appreciate the rest of it in person. The rest of the restaurant looks and feels like any other- booths, tables with chairs, a bar (not to sit at though), and a small waiting corner. The noise-level was average- and I didn't hear any music, so I'm guessing they don't play any. The staff was nice and courteous. They seated us quickly. While we were eating, my dad had a bit of an issue with eating his noodles, so I had to ask them for scissors so he cut them up into manageable spoonfuls. Come to find out, this was his first time trying Pho! He said it was OK, but it was hard to eat. My dad got the beef combination pho, of which I tried the broth. From the picture, you may notice that he didn't really add much of the toppings. Honestly, I thought that was a little strange, because his way into veggies. However, I found out that he is not fond of bean sprouts, and he thinks they taste like "dirt". I asked him to explain how he knew what dirt taste like, and he said, "well, they taste like how dirt smells". He also said that the beef tasted like school cafeteria meat. (I'm dying. ) However, that's not my summation of this dish. Based on the broth that I tasted and the quality of the meat that I saw, this is a good place for Pho. They definitely have their own take on the broth for their Pho as they add cloves. My dad described the flavor as "unidentifiable but with something like cinnamon"...so I gave it a sip and it was the cloves. Personally, I quite liked it. It added some depth to the broths' flavor. My sister had the "spicy" basil, chicken with rice. I tasted it and yes, it does have a bit of spiciness to it. It's not hot as in making your Mouse burst in the flames, but it does have a spiciness to it, that causes the back of your throat to react if you're not ready for it. In fact, at one point she got a good bit of that spicy kick right at the back of her throat, causing her to tear up and cough a little bit. I tasted it, and it was fine for me. She added some of the hoisin sauce and said after she added that it made it better for her. I ordered the sizzling beef, but I didn't want the fried rice that came with it... Rather, I wanted some stir-fried noodles... unfortunately, the waitress did not understand me. So, they brought me the pan, fried noodles cut into wedges. They didn't have much flavor, so I asked for some soy sauce (since there wasn't any at the table), and made a soy sauce and Sriracha dip that I really love on Korean pancakes and other such savory things. My sizzling beef came with a bed of artisan lettuces, some stir-fried onions and green onions, and the yummiest filet mignon. In my opinion, it was perfect. I forgot to take a picture, but we also tried the chicken spring rolls with peanut sauce, and they were OK. They were fresh and tasty and exactly what you would expect. My dad, of course, said that they were very chewy and commented on their "chewiness" a few different times even though he only ate half of a spring roll. So, as with any of my other reviews, give them a try or no? Definitely give them a try. In my opinion, they have some uniqueness as well as some real solid flavors and their customer service and ambience is very good.
My husband and I came here through a recommendation of a friend who raved about the pho and from the great reviews. It's located in a plaza with several eating establishments so it could get pretty packed. I got the beef pho with meatballs, lean brisket, and the steak (you can pick 3 meats). The broth was good; it tasted light. It wasn't the best I've ever tasted. I'm new to Atlanta so if I can't find a pho place I like, I'd probably come here again. With the lime, it tasted better. Husband got the chicken pad Thai. He liked it. It had the fire taste, which was a plus for us. A little bit more saucy than other pad thais. Our main complaint was the spring rolls. We first ordered the Vietnamese pork ham. Our server gave us the shrimp. We realized upon first bite. She didn't initiate fixing it for us. She just looked at us and asked what we wanted to do. Um.... idk? So we made the executive decision to give us both. It honestly wasn't anything special. It had shrimp, bean sprouts, and lettuce. It tasted fresh, but that was about it. When I bit into the Vietnamese pork ham spring roll it tasted sour and off. I've never had this type of ham before so I wasn't sure if that's how it was supposed to taste. When I asked a waiter about it, he said it was supposed to be sweet not sour. He later came back saying it was a bad batch. Seriously. What if I got sick from eating it? Why would you serve something that's been sitting there even if you have a big amount of it. You should be keeping track of the expiration dates. Despite the other food tasting fine, I really can't overlook this, so I'm taking some stars off of my review. The prices here are a bit steeper than other places. $14 for pho and $7.50 for spring rolls. The service is good when they can come to you (they did take out the bad spring roll from the bill although we still got charged for their order mistake). However, they don't check up on you or refill your water.

GRRRRREEE(ATE) Bun BO HUE! super flavorful, spicy, lots of veggie, and lots of MEAT! I think this place is a fusion spot so we only tried out the noodle soups but everything tasted really good! Service was fast and attentive. Def recommend if you're looking for Vietnamese noodle soup in Johns creek! read more

We loved the renovation of Le Mekong. We got the beef pho and spicy bun Bo hue. They just have one size, which is quite large portion of food! Friendly service from wait staff. A great ambiance and addition to the John's Creek area! read more
Went to Le Mekong for a pho craving and left very satisfied. Wish I had pictures of the pho and fried rice but the food looked too good to wait. FOOD: Fried egg rolls ($6) - This was good, but pretty average. Includes pork, taro root, carrot, cabbage, and mushrooms. Pho beef ($9.50) - My first impression was that the portion was really plentiful for the price and it was very tasty! You get to choose 3 cuts of beef out of 7 options. Pineapple seafood fried rice ($14) - Honestly didn't have expectations for this since I'm not a fan of pineapple pizza, but this was so good and would highly recommend. SERVICE: Joyce was awesome! Super attentive and so friendly! Will definitely come again to try more things on the menu. read more
My #ThankYouThursday goes out to Le Mekong! I'm thankful for their delicious food, especially the pho and vermicelli noodle dishes as well as the excellent service! We've only dined in once before Covid, and have ordered takeout several times. The staff is always so friendly and helpful when I call in and pick-up. We've tried the following: Spring rolls $6 Lotus stem salad $10 Pho beef combination $10.50 Pho tofu vegetable $9 Combination pork vermicelli $14 Everything is prepared with fresh ingredients. The pho broth has good flavor and has tons of toppings. The protein to veggie to noodle ratio is on point. The portions are generous. Glad to have this wonderful Vietnamese restaurant near me! read more

Le mekong is my go to place for pho! I always order beef combination and it is perfect every time. The services is wonderful and waiters are always attentive. The restaurant stays clean, along with the bathrooms. Will be back. read more
Checked out this places pho and combination vermicelli plate. Friendly staff and to go order came out in 15 minutes. Noted spaced out dine in seating and employees wearing masks as well. Both plates came out with all the right ingredients but both lacked depth in flavor. The seafood (I got shrimp) pho was $12 and they gave me a lot of shrimp (7 pieces) which I loved. The noodles were cooked well and all the standard toppings came with it but the soup was underwhelming. It was missing that rich meaty broth flavor and more on the sweet side. The combo vermicelli with pork $12-13 was also promising. You get a lot of meat and an egg roll but the fish sauce was too light and tasted like a mild sweet sauce. All the meat was cooked well and the project was flavorful. The sauce just needs a little something. I'd come again if I'm in the area with limited options and looking for some viet food but both dishes need work in the sauce/broth to get it to the next level. read more

Came here for a weekday lunch with my friend and everything was excellent! I tried their Vietnamese iced coffee, spring rolls, and some vermicelli as well as some cream cheese Rangoons. Yummmmm! The server was awesome and I liked the elegant space. Also -- if you haven't been to their bathrooms yet they have some cool designed hats on the ceiling right outside of it read more
Check your veggies!! We ordered pho & noticed our basil leaves were not washed properly. In fact, maybe they don't even wash it at all. Idk But other than that. Our pho was SO GOOD. The broth was very flavorful. My husband is so used to putting sriracha and oyster sauce into his pho bc the pho we get at every other place are not as flavorful, but this place, he regretted adding the sauces. PLEASE try it without adding anything to it. read more

My favorite Pho locally! This was my first time back since they remodeled the restaurant. It looks great on the inside and there is more room allowing for better social distancing of the tables. My husband and I went last night (Saturday night around 7:00) they were packed and running a wait. It didn't take us long to get seated and even though they are short staffed food came out at a reasonable pace and they were very attentive to drink refills. We split the Shrimp Spring Rolls (I could drink the peanut sauce). I had a large Pho Chicken and my husband had a large Pho Chicken with spicy broth. It was all delicious! I can't wait to have my leftovers for lunch! read more

Best place for pho in John's Creek! Price is amazing compared to other places and broth is great! read more
First thing we saw when we pulled into the parking lot was the "Temporarily Closed" sign, but we were relieved when we saw that it was not in effect until June 1 so make sure to get your fix in before they close for renovations! Le Mekong is a great option in the area for Vietnamese food, and definitely deserves all the good reviews! Had their chicken pho which was delicious -- very hearty and flavorful. Also tried the spring rolls which tasted fresh and loved their dipping sauce it came with. My cousin got his usual order, the grilled meat combination vermicelli which he devoured quickly. While he felt that they had cut their portion sizes, this was my first time here and the pho seemed like a large serving to me. Service was quick and efficient, and we were in and out for lunch in less than an hour on a weekday. Beware the inside of the restaurant was a bit chilly, although it did make for perfect temperature for a nice hot bowl of pho! read more
This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. It has a large extensive menu that mixes Vietnamese and Thai dishes. Everything dish that we had was quite good. We ordered a lot of appetizers. The cheese wonton and the chicken salad were amazing. The shrimp spring rolls were flavorful and fresh. The pad thai I ordered was not as spicy as I thought it would be be. It was also super saucy and gooey. I would like to come back and try something different, as well as reorder that chicken salad. read more

I was pleasantly surprised visiting Le Mekong after their renewal. I haven't been here in a while but I was impressed with their new interior. We visited on a Sunday evening - I ordered the pho beef with eye round steak and lean brisket. The meal was $13, not bad for Johns Creek prices. We received our pho shortly and I love how the pho here has a rather cleaner taste than other places. I know some people don't prefer that but there are days when you crave some clean pho over the greasy pho. There was a good bit of meat in there and the portions were very generous as well. I used to visit here a lot as I used to live right in front of it, but it looks like I might have to stop by this area a little more often! read more

LOVE Le Mekong. I've gone here on and off over the years, but I've been ordering it so much lately that I had to write a review. THE PHO BROTH....the best I've ever had. Incredibly flavorful. The veggies are fresh and the meat is super tender. I mostly get everything to-go and I have never felt like I'm missing out on the sit down quality. I cant recommend this place enough. PS I always get the spring rolls with the Vietnamese pork ham which are delicious, but I ate them so quick this time that I forgot a pic. read more

Is there a new chef? The quality of the food seems "different" compared to how it was before the remodel.
I’d have to say yes as the food has greatly degraded.
